Over the new bridge

When I use my standard route to the office, I don't come over the new bridge. But I can! And I was curious so I did it. It is only a tiny detour. 

Once you come over the bridge, this situation used to be that you can go up quite a solid path, that starts very steep, and later has a kissing date. And there was a little gate to the right, that took you to a rather muddy path, first through vegetation, and then (after a kissing gate) between crawiau (typical North Welsh fences made of what basically are vertical planks of slate), to a farm track. That was all very scenic. And it isn't anymore. But it is a lot more bike-friendly now. It's still not as bike-friendly I thought it would be. You might want to do this route on a road bike, but the farm track still has a surface composed of slate chips, and road bikers don’t like that very much!

They restored the crawiau! But they are a lot wider apart now
